lol 

@ goldieluks

lol, you are right Mike's wife is beautiful

@ Chima Uzo

True, but not for all but I have noticed that it is a trend mostly with Hollywood celebrities because most of them don't take marriage seriously in the first place because in the western world the institution of marriage is not taken seriously in some circles any more, the divorce rate is high in America now but In Nigeria is a more conservative society and culture when it comes to marriage, they take it more seriously at least for the majority.

@ Kizito96

yeah you can say that but these men at the same time have more money then the ladies they married so I guess it goes both ways

he is hot

@ Tpia
makes sense

[b]"Nollywood cinema is Africa’s largest movie industry in terms of both value and the number of movies produced per year. Although Nigerian films have been produced since the 1960s, the rise of affordable digital filming and editing technologies has stimulated the country’s video film industry. The Nigerian video feature film industry is sometimes colloquially known as Nollywood, having been derived as a play on Hollywood in the same manner as Bollywood

Nigeria’s movie industry is thriving, and it’s about time you took notice. Fondly referred to as Nollywood, it is now an $800 million industry, providing employment for about 300,000 people as actors, directors, marketers and distributors. After Hollywood, it is the second largest in the world – even bigger than India’s Bn Julia Roberts aollywood. Nigerian movies are immensely popular, particularly in Africa, where they currently outsell Hollywood films. And Nollywood stars are much more popular on the continent than their Hollywood counterparts. Chances are that Kenyans or Malawians will better recognize Genevieve Nnaji and Ramsey Nouah (both Nollywood idols), thand Denzel Washington.

Nollywood has come a long way from where it started 20 years ago. Before now, Western critics were usually quick to dismiss the quality of its productions as poor, the industry as amateurish, its talent as sloppy and its future as bleak. Understandably so. Movies were made on the cheap- a typical budget ranged anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000. Shoots were rushed; they rarely lasted a week. Cheap digital equipment and cameras were mostly used, and directors were untrained. The movies generally bypassed the cinema, going straight to DVD and VCD discs. Majority of the actors were mediocre at best. The stories were cliché and mildly annoying. A typical story line went something like this: poor boy meets rich girl; they fall in love; rich girl’s parents strongly disapprove of union; boy and girl fight all obstacles and true love prevails in the end. Other typical story lines included voodoo tales, historical epics, religious conflicts and economic hardship. It was generally mundane.

But even with the substandard quality of the movies, they thrived. The average flick sold over 50,000 copies. Some even sold as many as several hundred thousand, while a few hit a million. And at $1.50 per disc, they were affordable for most Nigerians and generated astounding returns for the producers.

But things have changed. The Nigerian movie industry is experiencing an evolution. The quality of our movies is much better than ever before; our actors are better financially compensated;  directors and other professionals in the industry are travelling overseas to institutions like the New York Film Academy to hone their skills; investors and businessmen are pouring more substantial financial resources into the production of better quality flicks. Nowadays, it’s common place to see movies produced on a 6-figure budget, which is a major improvement from the past. In 2009, Kunle Afolayan, a leading Nigerian movie producer, raised about $300,000 to shoot Figurine, an outstanding production which premiered on local and international cinemas and went on to win 5 stars at the African Movie Academy Awards, our very own version of the Oscars. Several Nigerian movie producers and directors are following suit.

But this is just the beginning: Nollywood is coming of age; its producers and other leading lights are more ambitious than ever before, and they are catching up with Hollywood, slowly albeit steadily. With time, the industry will be rewarded with the critical reception it currently lacks among great world cinema."[/b]

congrats omotola

ok lol

@Wbong

I'm not denying Genevieve is a good actress because she is but why do you think she can't be compared? this thread was actually by the request of someone in another thread actually, so theres some people that want Genevieve compared with others.

@ Nayah

Omotola is actually my favorite actress just to let you know, when it comes to looks and acting. When it comes to "the perfect picture" well you are right the quality and landscape was fine, and I'm not really complaining about the acting in terms of their acting talent in the movie though but the way they were acting and style of acting was westernized, they didn't need to be westernized for the movie to be good, they could have kept their Ghanian English and flair with the movie and it would have still been good or better, plus the sex scene wasn't necessary. Those are the two complaints I have of the movie but at the same time I don't think the movie was bad though, it's one of shirley Bonteng best movies so far

@Wbong

oh yes Joke Silva is a excellent actress, her and patience are in the same league

ok lol

@ Nayah

I watch Ghollywood movies sometimes but not more then nollywood movies, I have watched the perfect picture and felt the movie was fine without the sex scene. My favorite ghollywood movie was actually " I sing of a well" it was authentic and done beautifully but I rarily see ghollywood making movies like that.

@Wbong

You are right patience ozokwor is a brilliant actress and I even prefer her more then genevieve, i think she acts better then genevieve and deserves a awards by now

@ Nayah
Yeah there are some X-rated Nollywod movies but they are less compared to Ghollywood movies(hot fork, kiss me if you can, heart of a man, the game, the perfect picture, 4 play, and I can go on and on) but you are right most of the X-rated Nollywood movies I have seen always involve Tonto dike and they are just trash as far as I am concerned.
